  ‘Welcome to Taipei’, my first steps into a new world Wendela Elsen Oct 30, 2020 3 min read My boyfriend came home smiling from ear to ear. “I have been offered an assignment in Taiwan!” Something he had been hoping for for several years, since an exciting visit to the Far-East as a student. His ultimate dream was to work in Japan. “It’s not Japan, but it’s close enough for me! Shall we go? Please, say ‘yes’.” “Yes”, I said without thinking, but then I added, “but only if I can find a job there”. That worried him a bit because he didn’t want anything to stop him from pursuing his dream. We were both 32 years old and career-minded. I wanted to join him on this new adventure but not at all cost. I started my research and sent several open applications to HR consulting firms in Taipei.

A big investment but with plenty of lakes in the Netherlands opportunities for boat trips were endless. Consequently, I hardly ever vacationed abroad. My first long-distance trip was to Italy when I was about nine but I was never on an airplane until aged 18 and that was a flight to London. My first memory of real interest in the wider world was when I studied geography at secondary school. We s...

Author: Patricia Curty As many of you know, I L.O.V.E everything related to business ideas. I can get extremely motivated and jump into action when I believe an idea can work. Now, if they're also good people involved and the slightest chance to have fun in the process, there are no red lights for me. This being said, here comes the reality check: Research suggests that only 8% of us will ever succeed with our goals and ideas. I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, why people like me who have so many ideas will give up most of the time. As the research shows only 8% of people will carry their ideas to a successful endeavor. So the BIG question is: What are these 8% doing differently from the 92% that never get to finish and succeed at anything? Why do the vast majority give up? So based exclusively on my experiences, here’s my list for the Top 5 Reasons People Give Up: 1. The Impostor Syndrome Have you heard of impostor syndrome? It’s quite a phenomenon around people who are o...
